Wednesday evening, the Elk City Police Department requested OSBI special agents investigate the suicide of an armed robbery suspect. Earlier in the week, an AT&T store in Weatherford was robbed. Police were able to get a description of the suspect and his vehicle. About 7:45 last night, police spotted the suspect and his vehicle and attempt a traffic stop. A chase ensued for approximately seven minutes when the suspect vehicle, a Cadillac sedan, hit a curb at Broadway and became disabled. The suspect ran from the vehicle. Numerous officers began searching. An Elk City officer spotted a man matching the suspect description walking along 3rd Street east of Lusk. The officer drove up beside the man and ordered him to the ground. OSBI agents are told the suspect put a gun to his head and fired the weapon. Leamon Cummings III (d.o.b. 9/2/1981) died at the scene. OSBI special agents have spent the night gathering information, collecting evidence, and documenting the scene.
